[QUOTE="Steely, post: 45664, member: 3301"] I have a sleep condition called Hynogogic Sleep Paralysis, that when I become extremely stressed, rears its ugly head, and has symptoms just like what you described. It is a pretty uncommon disease, however, it has been recorded in the medical books for centuries because of its absolutely terrifying effects on people. I will let you look it up online, if you are curious, and I certainly would want you to see a Dr., but it's symptoms are almost exactly like what you described with your daughter. In a nutshell, it is a misfiring between the sleep brain and the awake brain, and the result is that you are paralyzed, but awake. Often this state is accompanied by terrifying hallucinations, both visual and auditory. I know - it sounds like a horror movie gone bad - but it is a real condition, and possibly genetic, as both my sister and I suffer from it. When I was young they thought I had seizures as well, and then my parents just chalked it up to me "being dramatic". It was not until I was older that I got a proper diagnosis, and realized I was not crazy. If she does have these, the best thing to do is try to get her up and walking, or some water, because that can sometimes break the cycle. Let us know what the doctor says - good luck!. [/QUOTE]
